The good, the bad, the ugly

I have had pretty normal symptoms so far thoughout the pregnancy. I am incredibly excited about having this sweet baby, but my body has been a little out of whack. The first thing I noticed before I even found out was the intense nausea. This has been non-stop since about week 4. This has definitely been the worst. It comes any time of the day and usually about seven or eight times. Because of this, my eating has been less than healthy. Basically, my only meal right now is cheerios three to four times a day and a gallon of milk every two days. I would try to eat more, but almost all food I see/smell makes me sick. I'm sure this has been especially annoying for CJ, because I've always cooked every meal of the day, and that's just not happening at the moment. If anybody comes to my house and wants food, they better have it with them! Everyone tells me I should start getting relief from this soon - here's to hoping!


The other symptom I've really noticed (and CJ, too) is the fatigue. I never feel rested and can go to sleep practically on command. I've been crashing around one at work and really struggle with getting anything productive done. I'm very thankful for a supportive boss, because I had a rough few weeks coming back from losing my Dad and having to deal with this fatigue. I've been crashing right when I get home from work. I always said I would be the pregnant woman that would continue exercising throughout pregnancy, but I never knew how in the world I would feel. Let me tell ya, I will never tell someone how I will do things again until I'm experiencing it myself!


I've experienced a few more things, but most are bordering on the TMI mark so I will keep them to myself. :)


Coming soon.....first two doctor appointments and telling the family!
